Bottle from B&M Bargains, Rochdale. Hazy pink coloured with a fizz. Tastes pretty much like the suckable boiled sweet with the same flavours. Same in aroma.

Bottle at Cottage Loaf, Thurstaton. Appearance - deep pink ( stewed rhubarb) colour. No head. Nose - very sweet and confected rhubarb. Taste - more rhubarb sweets. Some hint of creamy custard but mainly rhubarb sweets. Not as confected as the nose implied though. Palate - light to medium bodied. Sweet midden, fairly sweet finish. Overall - it grew on me.

330ml bottle from Home Bargains. Pink colour, with a pinkish white foam head that dissipates away and aroma of custard, vanilla, rhubarb. Taste is spice, cinnamon, apple pie, sweetish sugary with rhubarb and custard notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi-dry finish. Kind of OK.

500ml bottle. Pours hazy pink with a small head. Aroma is tart rhubarb and sweet custard. Taste has custard and pear to start. Custard finish with a rhubarb aftertaste. Could be a bit tarter but it's filth and I love it.

330ml bottle, picked up from B&M. Pours a hazed pinkish red. Aroma is vivid rhubarb. Crisp, clear rhubarb and custard in taste, completely unrecognisable as a cider of course. Moderately sweet, a touch sugary, but basically tastes like fruit juice. Like a lot of fruit cider like it, so there.
